France, Europe's second biggest
economy, should post an economic growth of 0.4 percent in the first
three months of 2016, French central bank said on Monday.
The
Bank of France said its monthly business climate survey in January
showed accelerated industrial business and improved deliveries thanks to
dynamic automobile, chemicals, electrical equipment and food processing
industries, Xinhua reported.
The capacity utilisation rate was almost stable at 78 percent, it added in its first quarterly growth estimate.
Based on business leaders sentiment, the bank expected industry to slow in short term.
As
to services, activities reported significant performance due to sharp
increase in temporary work while hotel and catering sector continued to
weaken following Paris attacks in November 2015, the bank said.
Looking to February, business leaders expected "less marked increase in service sector activity," it added.
For the whole year of 2015, French government target 1.5 percent of growth.
